<p>The limit says above 250 words. I've written mine and it was a 100 words. after many proofreads and edits, i trimmed it to 650 words. is that okay?</p>
<p>Ah, how can you trim your essay from 100 words to 650?? Maybe you meant to say 1000 words to 650? lol
Yeah, you should be fine. Mine was around 700.</p>
<p>650 is fine.</p>
<p>I did a lot of research on this for my daughter. It seems the consensus is to have to it between 500-1000, though people have had longer ones, and still got into colleges. It would depend on the quality. 500 badly written words can be a much harder read that 1200 words of beautifully written prose.</p>
